[Gaston Glock died]

I reference the old line in a song, “if you want to be happy for the rest of your life make an ugly woman your wife” as it relates to Glocks.  
 

I still cant marry an ugly wife

[My Wife is excited about what she got me for Christmas]

It's a cool place.  Been there a couple of times when visiting my brother.  And if you get to that area and like to golf, go play Arrowhead.   Awesome golf course.

[Looking for a mid-TN good machinist/gunsmith that can do metric threads]

Left hand is just the change of a lever.   Not any harder to do than right hand.  Even metric isn’t any harder, it’s more about what kind of lathe they have and if it has a universal gear box or the right change gears for the metric thread.  
 

 

[Looking for a mid-TN good machinist/gunsmith that can do metric threads]

Absolutely.    Mostly depends on how big the headstock of the lathe is as mentioned above.   There are a lot of ways to do it, some better than others but anyone who has done many should have the tools to do it.    There are various types of jigs to hold the action and be able to adjust runout.  
 

I agree with SlickRick that you want someone who knows what they are doing, but it isn’t hard to get a barrel dialed in to thread it.   It just takes a little patience.

Damn.  Good pickup.

Pending meet.  

[S&W Model 41 5.5"]

More culling.   Duplicate for me.

Nice condition old Model 41 with cocking indicator.   Comes with a box, but not the original to it, but is from 5.5" Model 41.  Has a couple of the tools as well.   2 Magazines.  Pictures make it look like it has some wear on muzzle but it is just from reflection of light on the RIG I keep on it.  The other is just some lint.  I can take different pictures if someone want them.

$sold firm.  Meet within a reasonable distance of Chapel Hill.

[Typhoon F12 Shotgun]

Thinning continues.  This is a 12 gauge shotgun.

New, I never fired it.  Comes with everything as new.  (3) Five rounds magazines.  They call this design Hexacote.

$750.  Meet within a reasonable distance of Chapel Hill.

[257 Roberts Ammo]

I sold the rifle online and didn't include the ammo.   So 86 rounds +14 cases.

$150.  Meet within a reasonable distance of Chapel Hill.

[WHY?]

First world problems.   Do what makes you feel good and justify it however you want.   I'm with Garufu, I'm not worried one bit about being in some shootout everywhere I go.   That doesn't mean be oblivious, it just means I am a believer in when it's my time it's my time.  Enjoy life, don't worry about every damn thing, including the highly unlikely chances you are going to be shot at church.

If he does sell it, just have an agreement he can buy it back for what they paid.  Or just let the kid use it and keep it.

[Are Gun Rebates a Sign of a Slowing Economy?]

1 hour ago, TGO David said:

Agreed.  I know CZ has done layoffs here in the states in the past.  I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen again.

They make a great product, but they just don't advertise their stuff very well.  I mean, is there anyone who just hates the CZ-75??  I've never met them.

 

And if they do hate it, I don't need to be friends with them

[Thoughts on trimming down the collection and upgrading to quality]

I have taken a bit of a combined approach.   I have some nice guns of all sorts,  but I am basically now a 100% 22 guy.   I have been selling off guns I don’t shoot and will probably never shoot and putting that money into higher end 22’s.   
 

I have enough of the other to still do anything I want but I don’t hunt anymore and am basically into precision shooting.   I love me some small calibers still like 22-250 and 204 Ruger.

I am a proponent of finding what you really love and finding the rarities in that and making it fun.   I am kind of out of the collecting mode.   Even my rarer or classic 22’s I want to shoot.  What else is the point of having them.

[Gunsmith to shorten and thread a barrel]

Check with the guy in Chapel Hill at Echo 3 Armory.  Not sure of his prices, but threading shouldn't be any issue.   I thread my own barrels but have a lathe and tooling.  It really isn't rocket science to be honest.  You will want a mill to do the dovetails.

[Removed]

None.  Guess I didn’t mention that but should be obvious at the price it doesn’t. 

[Colt Night Cobra]

I’ll send you my phone number in a PM. 

[Recommendations for entry-level AR-15]

There is a post in the deals and steals thread for one that is $330.  Probably works as good as most others if you just want to put bullets down range.  Don’t think you will find anything any cheaper.  The old adage probably applies, you usually get what you pay for.
